Literacy

We are learning our letters by building them with Wiki Sticks!


We learn to write by writing!
We are writing stories in our Writing Folders. We keep a lot of stories in our Writing Folders. We are writing about what we did during the holiday break. First we tell the story, then we draw the picture, then we write the words. Our teacher helps us decide what to do next.

Goodbye Mrs. Forbes

Mrs. Forbes is our teacher. She reads to us and teaches us a lot of things. We like her a lot!

Mrs. Forbes is going to have a baby girl. She will not be at school anymore because she will have a baby.

We told Mrs. Forbes goodbye. We made her a goodbye shirt and gave her flowers. We love Mrs. Forbes.
We miss you Mrs. Forbes!
